Software Update Manager 25
E-EQ-RX2RG-B RX2 Reference Guide
Software Update Manager
The Software Update Manager is designed to provide a convenient way to keep the RX2’s
software updated. The Manager requires an FTP server. The LXE software is stored on the FTP
server and compared to the version of the software loaded on the RX2. If the FTP server contains
a different version that is loaded on the RX2, the version on the FTP server is downloaded and
installed on the RX2.
Software packages that can be managed include:
• Cisco or Summit radio software
• Software Update Manager
• RFID reader firmware upgrade
• RFID reader software
• TagLogger application
• RX2 SNMP agent
• Custom applications
The Manager automatically places any files downloaded into the proper directory on the RX2 and
performs the proper post installation action.
Any customized parameter values persist after the Manager has downloaded and installed software
updates.
Configuring the RX2 for the Software Update Manager
The Manager is included as part of the RX2’s default software load and runs at bootup. The RX2
must be properly configured to access the FTP server. This is done via the RX2’s registry. In
order to edit the RX2 registry, use the REGEDIT.EXE utility.
You must have the following information:
• The root name of the FTP server
• A valid FTP account user name
• A valid FTP account password
• Directory location of the LXE software on the FTP server.
FTP Server Settings
The registry contains information specifying the FTP server settings.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LXE\SUM\FTP]
“Server”=ServerName
“Directory”=DirectoryName
“Password”=Password
“Username”=Username
Note: Each of these entries is a string type variable. Replace the default value with your site
specific information.
